Abstract:

The Safety EdgeSM is a proven technology that shapes the edge of a paved roadway at approximately 30 degrees from the pavement cross slope during the paving process. The Safety EdgeSM eliminates tire scrubbing, a phenomenon that contributes to losing control of a vehicle. It has been successfully constructed on both asphalt and concrete pavements. The Safety EdgeSM has minimal impact on project cost combined with the potential to improve pavement life.
